Chapter 55: Analysis
Wei Ziheng slowly walked into King Yue's bedroom and said, "King Yue, Zhong Ren is back!" ”
"Let him in!" King Yue's expression at this time looked worried and swollen.
Zhong Ren strode in, and since he entered the palace, he had a hunch that maybe those rumors were true. When he saw King Yue's expression, he suddenly seemed to understand something: "King Yue, what happened?" ”
King Yue didn't say anything, just waved his hand there and sighed secretly. Wei Ziheng walked over slowly, faced Zhong Ren, briefly recounted the major events that happened yesterday, and also clearly told some related things.
Zhong Ren's face changed greatly after hearing this, and he said in a slur manner: "Your Excellency Prime Minister is really...... No way? ”
King Yue took the initiative to apologize to Zhong Ren at this time: "I'm sorry, I was ignorant and reckless before, and this situation will only occur now." I've always been wrong about the Prime Minister. Ziheng has already explained to me some things about the prime minister, and the power I have always longed for has actually been in my hands all along, but I don't have the ability to control it. What I have done over the years has always paved the way for me to officially inherit the rights. Perhaps my father's former testimony was justified. I may not be fit to be a king. ”
Wei Ziheng stepped forward and persuaded like this: "As the saying goes, the heavens will descend on the Si people, this is the fate of God destined for you, you can't disobey, you can't change, you can only comply." Forcibly defying the sky will suffer from it, since you have successfully succeeded to the throne as the king of Yue, no matter how much you played around and ignored the government before? But you are the king of Yue after all. ”
Zhong Ren still couldn't believe these facts in front of him, he shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that the night ghost from the Central Plains would actually extend his claws to our Yue Kingdom court. It can really be said to be bold. I don't know how King Yue of Wei survived this crisis. ”
Wei Ziheng stood here and replied truthfully: "The rescue of the Black Tiger Gang, the dispatch of the Praetorian Guard, the dispatch of the general Li Ran, and of course, the most important thing is the birth of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue!" ”
Zhong Ren's eyes changed, as if he was a little surprised, but more surprised: "Has the Eight Swords of King Yue been born?" I see, these four shadows are extremely difficult to deal with, and if they use the Four Elephant Killing Array against me, they will either die or be disabled. Another day, I'll visit Yue Wang Bajian. ”
"No, I've always been there." Behind a big beam, a person slowly walked out, his face was resolute, his facial features were straight, his eyes were sharp, and he was holding a sword of golden light. Wei Ziheng looked up and saw that it was a sun covering.
Zhong Ren directly saluted and thanked him: "Thank you for your help, I'm really ashamed that I can't help you." ”
As a swordsman, the sun is covered with a very sensitive sense of smell and is very sensitive to the Yueshui of this Tianxuanzi sword spectrum is the fourteenth. The eight swords of the Yue King in their hands were Ou Yezi, which were cast during the Goujian period of the Yue King. It has been kept in the hands of King Yue. And once in the period of King Yunchang of Yue, the five swords of Yue Yezi were cast by Ou Yezi, which were named Zhanlu, Chunjun, Shengxie, Fish Intestine, and Juque. They have all been scattered in the Central Plains, if it weren't for the strength of the Wu State, maybe these famous swords could still be kept in the Yue Kingdom. On the other hand, the age of this sword is no longer known, and it is said that it has a long history, and it can be traced back to the legendary characters of the Yue Kingdom. Compared with the eight swords of the king of Yue, this sword is more influential in the country of Yue.
Covering the sun said slowly: "Guarding the Yue King was originally the duty of our Yue King's Eight Swords, we have been trained by the prime minister for more than ten years, and we have sharpened a sword for ten years, and now we finally have a day to come out of the sheath." Zhong Ren doesn't have to be like this. It's just that we haven't been able to find a clue to track down the group of people behind the Night Charm. ”
Zhong Ren not only clenched his fists: "It's just too deceitful, I, as a hegemonic country, have suffered such a great humiliation, if the news spreads all over China, what face do we have?" I will also go to find out the employer behind it. ”
Wei Ziheng asked on the side: "I don't know Zhong Ren, what did they say about the group of people who went to the Song Kingdom to meet with the Sword Pavilion?" ”
Zhong Ren paused, and then said: "This matter is complicated, as a major faction in the Central Plains, the Sword Pavilion has had some conflicts with some officials of the Song Kingdom. Unlike some of the other big factions, they set up their sect locations in the city, and they were all over the Song Kingdom. It is in collusion with the national politics of the Song State, and now there are some contradictions between the Song State and the Partition, which is a matter that implicates their foundation, and I did not make any more suggestions to help us after understanding the situation. ”
He seemed to know something, and he generally said: "Thinking about the past, at that time, the Sword Pavilion was still a small sect, in order to assist the Song State to pacify the country's civil strife and made great contributions, and was appreciated by the Song State monarch at that time, like the current Black Tiger Gang, near the capital of the Song Kingdom, specially prepared a piece of land as a manor for the development of the Sword Pavilion, and took this opportunity to develop into a top faction in the Central Plains, and then there were many masters to join, among which the most famous is the cadre Mo Xie Erjian. With the addition of these two swords, the Sword Pavilion truly stands at the top of China. ”
Wei Ziheng thought carefully on the side, listening to the conversation between the two, and suddenly felt that he was a little shallow in knowledge, and some things were unlikely to be able to be understood in books. I don't know much about the interval and other Jianghu sects, either hearsay or I don't know anything at all. And now he is doing things for King Yue, so he must consolidate his knowledge in order to make a difference.
Zhong Ren sighed silently on the side, he really didn't expect that in the days when he left, such a thing would happen, and he finally asked about the duel between the two peerless masters: "I don't know, what is the mysterious vision of heaven and earth that appeared near Langya City?" ”
Looking at the appearance of King Yue, it was obvious that he didn't know, Wei Ziheng combined some news from nearby officials, he said: "According to the words of some local Yue soldiers, it is said that the two masters are facing off, the scene is grand, and it was unavailable for a while, so I look straight at it. There are also sword-wielding masters in the army, who know the way of the sword, in his words, these two masters are at the pinnacle of the sword, and the specific reason for the battle is unknown. ”
At that time, the occult sun also witnessed such a situation, and combined with the information in their hands, he said: "That white pillar and the rain of light in the sky should be the physical sword qi, if not, maybe it is some kind of illusion, or it is to guide the nature of heaven and earth. Obviously, among the many possibilities, the entity sword qi is the most likely. There are not many people on this river and lake who can have this kind of sword qi. But if we analyze it carefully, we may know. ”
Zhong Ren frowned, his expression immediately became serious, and he said directly and boldly: "Wait, if my guess is correct, this assassination of the Yue Kingdom court carried out by the Night Charm is the largest, most numerous, heaviest and most dangerous mission they have ever carried out. In this case, do you think the Lord of the Night Charm was near Langya City yesterday? ”
Occult Sun hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We have also guessed this kind of thought, but if you think about it carefully, this mysterious Lord of the Night Charm, in the rumors of the rivers and lakes, he has not personally performed other tasks. He was holding a fish intestine sword, and it was a mystery whether the duel with Lu Zhanjian, who was ranked second in the rivers and lakes, was real. If he had appeared yesterday, why didn't he come directly to the Yue court? ”
Wei Ziheng seemed to remember something, he looked at King Yue and said: "Lord King Yue, if I remember correctly, in the past, you held a banquet in the military camp to entertain me and others, at that time, in addition to Zai Xia and Zhong Ren, the general of the Praetorian Guard, there was also a mysterious person. ”
Zhong Ren also seemed to remember something, and he said with some surprise in his eyes: "You are talking about Yunmeng Nanshan, although we have a cooperative relationship with him on the surface, but in fact we are not sure whether this cooperative relationship is reliable." After all, Yunmeng was the intelligence agency of the King of Chu, and most of their practices represented the position of the King of Chu. ”
At this time, the eyes of the occult sun moved slightly, and it was obvious that it was about Yunmeng. As the former prime minister's Yue Wang Bajian, he didn't know anything about what the former Yue King had done. He turned his head to look at King Yue, hoping to get an answer. Yue Wang Bushou was silent for a while, and then said: "Cover the sun, don't hide it, I did some stupid things before, when I was eager for power, eager to get power from the prime minister, and then I ......"
Looking at King Yue's stumbling tone, Occlusion nodded very understandingly: "We know this, but I didn't expect King Yue to have a connection with King Chu's Yunmeng." At this time, on the Chu-Yue border, our general Hua Qiming is attacking the territory of Chu. ”
At this time, King Yue's expression was ashamed, as if he had done something wrong, and he sighed heavily. He sighed much more in the past two days than he had ever been.
Zhong Ren also suddenly remembered that Nanshan, and then said more convictionally: "This Yunmeng Nanshan is also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, and it is said that he has the Tai'a sword personally given by the King of Chu in his hand, and he has the sword dao field and physical sword qi. If this is the case, I am afraid that only the Lord of the Night Charm and Yunmeng Nanshan can have such a scale of battle in our southeast region at present. Other masters of the same level are either in the Central Plains, or in the Jin Kingdom in the north and the Qi Kingdom in the east. They each have their own affairs, and it is probably not realistic to rush over to participate in such a battle. ”
Occult Sun seemed to understand something, he bowed his head and thanked him and said: "In this way, I'm afraid it's really worth investigating, and I'll retire here, about Yunmeng Nanshan and the Lord of the Night Charm, I'll investigate it in the next meeting." ”
Just in the middle of the conversation, an official hurriedly ran over and said very hurriedly: "King Yue, Prince Zhu Gou came to meet King Yue." ”
Wei Ziheng was suddenly a little surprised, the King of Yue in front of him was so young, and he already had a ancestral hall. I really can't imagine that looking at the age of King Yue's longevity, it seems that his crown prince should be young. But the next appearance of the prince is really amazing!
I saw a man in his prime, well-dressed, with long hair fluttering, dressed in purple clothes, with a delicate face, wearing a jade pendant and jade cong around his waist, extremely luxurious, this is the current prince of Yue Zhu Gou!
Are you sure he is the son of King Yue Bushou? Although this appearance is very similar to that of King Yue, it is obvious that they are all about the same height, and how can that face be young? What do you think? They are all teenagers, Wei Ziheng estimates that he is sixteen or seventeen years old. He turned his head in disbelief and looked at the face of King Yue's longevity, how could he see that this King Yue seemed to be in his twenties?
Could it be ............
Terrible! At what age do you have a son? No wonder I used to be greedy for fun and idle, ignoring political affairs, it turned out that there was a big reason!
Wei Ziheng and Zhong Ren still saluted out of courtesy and said, "Meet the prince Zhu Gou!" ”
